  • 1. I see stimuli, issues, and events as they are in
  • bjective reality.
  • 2. Other rational social perceivers generally share my

judgments and reactions – provided that they have had access to the same information that I do.

  • 3. If someone does not share my judgments and

reactions:

  • A. They have different (less) knowledge or information

than me

 solution = share or pool information 

agreement

B.

They are biased, duplicitous, stupid, etc.

 Solution = delegitimize and disregard

 Systematically discount the extent to which

disagreement with others is also attributable to our own biases or lack of knowledge.
